|

BOTOX
|
|
|
-
What is botox?
Botox® injections are a diluted form of
botulism which is injected into facial muscles to weaken the
muscles that form wrinkles. It is a simple, nonsurgical,
physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth
moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people
from 18 to 65 years of age.
Top
-
Is Botox approved by the FDA?
Y es. It is the only treatment of its type
approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Top
-
Does Botox hurt?
When injected into the affected muscle, BOTOX cosmetic
causes that muscle to relax, so wrinkles and lines can
diminish or disappear. There is virtually no pain associated
with the injection.
Top
-
What is the history of Botox?
Botulinum toxins were first researched in the late 1960s to
treat neurological disorders. Botox was first approved by
the FDA in 1989 to treat eye muscle disorders (Blepharospasm,
uncontrollable blinking, and strabismus). In 2000, it was
approved to treat cervical dystonia (a disorder that causes
severe neck and shoulder contractions). As an unusual side
effect of the eye disorder treatment, doctors observed that
Botox® softened the frown lines between the eyebrow.
Top
-
Does Botox really work?
Yes, with realistic expectations. In clinical trials, nearly
90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the
appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to
better 1 month after treatment.
Top
-
How soon can I drive after Botox?
There's no recovery time needed. You're ready to get on with
your day!
Top
-
What does The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
say?
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery ranked
BOTOX® Cosmetic as the most popular physician-administered
aesthetic procedure in the United States for the fourth year
in a row (surgical and nonsurgical combined).
Top
-
Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX®
Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or
make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity
that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced,
so you can still frown or look surprised without the
wrinkles and creases between your brows.
Top
-
Will I experience any side effects?
For the few that do, the most common side effects following
injection include temporary eyelid droop and nausea.
Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness,
swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may be
associated with the injection.
Top
-
Who should NOT use Botox?
BOTOX®
Cosmetic should not be used in the presence of infection
at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals
with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the
formulation. Patients with neuromuscular disorders such
as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may
be at increased risk of serious side effects.
